Modern day society putting strain on the romance, is there a way out?Economic conditions have drastically changed, and all the demands in running a household could put a lot of pressure on couples. There is no distinction between married and unmarried couples, or working and stay-at-home moms. The reality is, distraction comes from every angle. So how do we balance the demands of a busy lifestyle with the much needed romantic aspect? Oftentimes love isn’t the issue, time seems to be a deciding factor where our love lives are concerned. Setting the balance straight is not a job or duty, it is a means to reconnect with your partner and ensure a healthy relationship for the long term. However, that is easier said than done, how do we start? Creating Time Managing time is not just for the job, hobbies, kids and relaxation. If it’s important to you, chances are good you will make time for it, but how often do we fall into the trap of not making time? There always seems to be ten other things to be done, and it’s not necessarily more important, it could just be that the demand for your time from that aspect is too demanding. If there is no time for your spouse and they’re already trying to do as much as they can to alleviate the pressure, then it may be time to re look at the plate you’ve dished up. Working 12 hours a day, watching every soccer game, never missing gym, being part of this business committee and chairperson of that can really demand a lot, if not all of your time. Perhaps it’s time to let go of a few of these positions, or rethink your career path. If it means extra time with your spouse, perhaps the move would be worth it. The Social Media Trap Silent, but most definitely a killer. Once you’re an active member of social media, it is incredibly difficult to be a fully functioning member of society again. Suddenly you want to see the next picture, read the next comment, and watch the next video, laugh at the next joke. The list goes on and on, and it’s very difficult to distance yourself from this phenomenon. The pressure comes from all the different access points, your phone, tablet, pc. Of late even the fridge and the television sets have cottoned on to this phenomenon. Having the discipline of not checking every post or reply can be a very difficult practice, but in the realm of constant distraction, this is something that stands out head and shoulders above the rest. By limiting your access to these, you will be astounded by the amount of time that is suddenly available to your disposal. Answering That Call You’ve set the scene and you and your significant other are finally alone together for some quality time, and phone rings. You know its Terry phoning you about the fishing trip or Margie wanting to know where you bought those shoes, and getting some time alone is hard enough. If you want to see romance walk out the door, answer that call!Home Date Ideashomeandsocial/all/modern-day-society-putting-strain-on-the-romance-is-there-a-way-out.html
